missmoe Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 My husband and I have an opportunity to travel to Italy in September. We most likely will be based in Rome. Any and all suggestions are welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily_Grace Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 What are you interested in? Italy is beautiful in the fall, and usually stays mild up through the end of September. It's a big country, though, for visiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hthnmamax2 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I have a great suggestion, that you take me along with you!:lol: Italy in September sounds wonderful! Enjoy!:) :iagree: :D On a more realistic note, if you have the time, take the overnight ferry from Naples to Catania, Sicily and spend a couple of days touring the island. While in Catania, visit a pizzeria and have an Arancini for me. :drool5: On the island of Sicily, there's also Taormina (one of the more famous touristy spots), Palermo, Caltegirone (most beautiful handmade ceramics), Siracusa - which has a little Papyrus Museum that has a replica of the Rosetta Stone, and then there's my most favorite, favorite place in the whole world - Agrigento! Roman temples everywhere on the top of a hillside that overlooks the Mediterranean. :001_wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cammie Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 There are of course all the standards but one of the more off the beaten track things we did when we were in Italy a few years ago was to go to Vinci and see the home of daVinci and the museum in the castle. We loved it and still talk about it. Something about seeing where such a person grew up. Seeing the trees he might have seen, walking the roads he mights have walked was just magical. If I remember correctly it was on the way between Florence and Pisa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmoe Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Not sure if we have time to go to Sicily, but it looks fabulous! Vinci sounds wonderful and is not too far from where we need to be over the weekend we are there, so I've put that on our must do list! Thanks!
